Renal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor coexisting with hemophilia A carrier: a case report and literature review

Renal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an exceptionally uncommon occurrence. This report presented the first documented case of renal IMT coexisting with hemophilia A carrier status. A 52-year-old asymptomatic female was incidentally discovered to have a kidney mass during a routine computed tomography (CT) scan spanning a 5-month period. Ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced CT scan raised suspicion of a potential renal malignant tumor. Over 2 decades ago, the patient experienced significant bleeding during childbirth, and she possessed a 5-year history of rheumatoid arthritis. Following a radical surgical procedure, intravenous supplementation of factor VIII was administered during the perioperative period. Subsequent to strenuous defecation, the patient encountered hematuria. Continued coagulation factor supplementation led to alleviation of hematuria symptoms. The underlying causes and pathogenesis responsible for IMT remain unclear. IMT is often associated with rheumatoid arthritis, possibly suggesting a connection to its etiology. Surgical excision stands as the primary approach to treatment, with recurrence being an exceedingly rare event. In instances where hemophilia is a complicating factor, vigilant monitoring of coagulation function and appropriate coagulation factor supplementation is imperative.
